Features to know about

Built for Heavy Loads Without Giving Up Strength: 4,460-lb Wheel Capacity

This 16" x 6" Vesper steel modular wheel is made for serious hauling. It’s rated for up to 4,460 lbs and works with 1/2"-20 or 9/16"-18 wheel bolts on an 8 on 6-1/2" bolt pattern. The zero-offset design keeps weight balanced on the hub, and the 4.88" pilot diameter ensures a secure fit. That kind of strength gives real confidence when towing heavy equipment or a full load over long distances.

Stays Tight Mile After Mile: Improved Torque Retention Technology

The wheel’s raised automotive-rated center disc and beveled stud holes aren’t just for looks—they’re part of the Improved Torque Retention design that helps keep clamp force even. The uncoated bevels allow better friction at the hub face, reducing the need for retightening after installation. That means you spend more time towing and less time checking lugs between trips.

Fights Rust and Road Damage for the Long Haul: Silver Acrylic Enamel Finish

This modular steel wheel uses a durable silver acrylic enamel finish backed by multiple protective layers—environmentally safe zinc phosphate pre-treatment, an e-coat primer, and then the enamel topcoat. It’s proven to resist chipping from road debris or curb contact better than powder coat finishes. With a salt spray rating of more than 1,000 hours, it’s built to hold up against coastal air, wet roads, and constant use.

Ready for Real-World Use: Meets SAE J1204 Standards with Included Valve Stem

Every detail on this wheel is designed for reliability on the road. It meets SAE J1204 standards and includes a valve stem so it’s ready to pair with your tire of choice. Backed by a 2-year limited warranty, this heavy-duty steel modular wheel delivers both performance and peace of mind when your trailer is loaded up and rolling out.

Determining Bolt Pattern

1. Count the lug holes

Look at the wheel hub or the back of the wheel and count how many lug holes there are(also called bolt holes).

Common configurations include: 4-lug, 5-lug, 6-lug and 8 lug

2a. For even lug counts (4-lug, 6-lug, 8-lug)

Measure from the center of one lug hole directly across to the center of the hole opposite it.

Center to Center
Common configurations: 4 on 4", 6 on 5.5", 8 on 6.5"

2b. For odd lug counts (5-lug)

Measure from the center of one lug hole to the outer edge of the hole directly across (not center-to-center since there's no directly opposite hole).

Center to Outside Edge
Common configurations: 5 on 4.5" (most popular), 5 on 5", 5 on 4.75", 5 on 5.5"

by:

Fast shipping and exactly what I ordered



by:

Used rim as described, with just a few scratches, which is no issue for me, as this will be a spare for my dump trailer. Thank you!



by:

Great looking wheel heavy duty, valve stem included, haven’t installed yet, but got here in less than a week.



by:

Excellent customer service and overall experience. Would Certainly recommend etrailer to friends and family.



by:

Very good wheel. Having the metal valve stem come installed was
a big plus.



by:

Very nice rim heavy duty finish is nice and easy to install tire on rim. Not bad on price. Just installed them so we will see how they do.



by:

Needed a steel trailer rim that could handle a load. Found it. Just wished it had shipped with a different carrier; took a few wrong turns to get to us.



by:

Got exactly what I ordered. Good quality wheels at a fair price and shipping was fast. We'll see how they hold up for the day to day work. I do commercial landscaping, so these wheels will be put to the test.



by:

So far, so good!



by:

Really nice looking wheels with sturdy valves. Good deal with free shipping and valves. Needed stronger than normal rims for a wood chipper, load readying H I think. So these should be good if they are rated for 4460lbs, haven't found any markings to that effect on them but I guess I'll trust the listing.



by:

Wheels were packaged well in individual boxes, shipping was very fast. Needed these extra heavy duty load range Wheels for my excessive weights. Should do the trick for me.



by:

Upgrade for my 7X14 dump trailer. Finish has held up well with no issues.

Still working perfect. I haul 5 tons of gravel 4-6 times a month and have had no issues. Good product.

Free fast,shipping,good price! Wheels arrived in perfect condition. Pics of wheels on my 19500lb gvw tiltbed gooseneck trailer.



by:

Was looking for a high weight rated steel wheel to go with the Transeagle H rated 16 ply 235/80R16 tire. This is the wheel that has the weight rating that will be able to carry the heavy loads. Well made, quality wheel and finish, fast shipping.



by:

etrailer had what I was looking for at a good price. The wheels I ordered were shipped in a sturdy box so they weren't damaged in transit and they arrived when promised. I will for sure be ordering from etrailer again.



by:

Great price… Fast delivery…



by:

Spare wheel does the job. Been under a spare tire cover so it hasn’t been exposed to the sun to allow for a legit review on how the paint, etc. has held up.



by:

Wheel works fine, replaced previous rim that was leaking air (slowly). blew a couple tires on the trailer due to low air pressure before finally figured out it was the rim leaking, not the tire or valve stem.



by:

I have a 14k Gvw trailer loaded to 13k. Running load range G tires. Wheel cracks at the welds. Needs to be welded the entire circumference of the wheel.



by:

great product! We use this rim for the added weight that it can handle. Arrives in a box and has a protective cover on the valve side. Well worth the additional cost for the quality.



by:

Bought two of these to replace two wheels that had lateral runout.
exact replacement for my EXIS gooseneck car trailer.



by:

Always on time ! Free shipping! I love that! Always fit perfectly!! And no scratches new perfect condition Thank you guys for all the effort!!
To keep in business on time ! Will keep buying more!



by:

Nice quality wheels, good finish. Just what I needed. Paired these with the chrome center caps.

  • Maximum Pressure Capacity of Maxion MX59FR Vesper 16 x 6 Trailer Wheel
    As long as the maximum load applied to the # MX59FR Maxion Vesper 16 x 6 wheel doesn't exceed its 4460 lb capacity, the wheel can handle the pressure of any tire that can be mounted on it, which I confirmed with the manufacturer.

  • 16" Spare Trailer Wheel for 7,000lb Axle With 8 on 6.5" Bolt Pattern
    For a wheel only the Vesper Steel Modular Trailer Wheel # MX59FR is a great choice as its acrylic enamel finish resists damage better than powder coat finishes. I recommend the Provider ST235/85R16 Radial Trailer Tire w/ 16" Vesper Silver Mod Wheel # TA26FR as it will have the same acrylic enamel finished wheel and come with the tire already mounted.

This wheel has a capacity of 3,960 lbs. We do, however, have other options.

  • Replacement Wheel For 2017 Heartland Gateway 3800RLB 5TH Wheel Camper
    The only way to know for sure is to either measure the hub on your 2017 Heartland Gateway 3800RLB 5th Wheel camper or to get me the axle serial numbers off your axles. Then I will be able to determine what hubs were installed on your axles. It is likely that either the Taskmaster Steel Modular Trailer Wheel # TA83VR or Vesper Steel Modular Trailer Wheel # MX59FR will fit as they are both a lug centric design and do not have to align perfectly with the hub on your Heartland.

    The 16" steel trailer wheels we offer are 6" wide (measured from where the tire beads will seat on the wheel, from inside of the inner wheel flange to inside of the outer wheel flange), and have an 8 on 6-1/2" bolt pattern. Assuming you have both of those, there are a couple options for replacement wheels: - Vesper Steel Modular Trailer Wheel - 16" x 6" Rim - 8 on 6-1/2 - White # MX27FR - Vesper Steel Modular Trailer Wheel - 16" x 6" - 8 on 6-1/2 - Silver # MX59FR These fit with 1/2"-20...

  • Recommended 16 x 6 Wheel for Wood Chipper
    Since you believe your wheel has a zero offset (mounting pad of wheel is equidistant along width of rim) I wouldn't recommend going with the # AM20797 wheel with the positive offset as it will move the wheel 1/2 inch closer to the trailer frame. Both the # MX59FR Maxion Vesper and Dexstar # AM20794 have a zero offset, both have an 8 on 6-1/2 inch pilot bolt pattern and the same pilot diameter. If I had to choose between the two, I'd go with the # MX59FR, because of its higher 4460 lb...

  • Spare Wheel & Tire For a Utility Trailer With 235/80R16 Load Range E and 8 on 6-1/2 Bolt Pattern
    I recommend the Tamarack ST235/80R16 Radial Trailer Tire w/ 16" Silver Mod Wheel # LHACK133 as a spare. This will include the Wheel # MX59FR you are looking at with a Tire # LHCK401 already mounted. The reason you see so many different weights is so they work in multiple applications. You will want to not exceed the weight from the trailer manufacturer decal on your trailer. The Wheel # MX59FR is rated for up to 4,460lbs as it can work with larger and higher ply rated tires.

    I called my contact at Taskmaster and asked about the Steel 8-Spoke Trailer Wheel, part # MX59FR. They told me this wheel has a psi rating of 130 as determined by it's included valve stem. This is a silver Vesper finished steel wheel that has an 8 on 6-1/2 bolt pattern and has a load capacity of 4,460 lbs. The pilot diameter is 4.88 inches.

Some combinations are preassembled and ready to install out of the box. We have Mini Mod style like # AM20761B Steel Modular like # MX59FR Aluminum Bobcat like # LHSO513B If you'd like a couple wheel and tire combinations, I'd suggest the Castle Rock ST235/80R16 Radial Trailer Tire w/ 16" Silver Mod Wheel - 8 on 6-1/2 - LR E, # LHACK133 which...

  • Will 8 on 6-1/2" Bolt Pattern Wheels For 1/2" Lugs Also Fit 9/16" Diameter Lugs?
    I will need to know exactly what wheels you have to determine if they will fit both 1/2" and 9/16" diameter lugs. There are wheels like the Vesper Steel Modular Trailer Wheel # MX59FR that fit both the 1/2" and 9/16" lugs. Once I know exactly what wheels I will be able to determine if they will fit the Kodiak Disc Brakes # KOD35FR you found or if you will need a kit like the Dexter Disc Brake Kit # K71-694-695-11 with 1/2" lugs.

An 8" wide wheel is pretty unusual, so if you're using standard trailer tires they should fit the 16"...

  • Difference Between Taskmaster Silver 16 inch Trailer Wheels # 660865MSPVD and # TA55VR
    The difference between the two silver Taskmaster trailer wheels part # 660865MSPVD and # TA55VR is weight capacity and finish basically. The part # TA55VR is a painted silver color and has a higher weight capacity of 4,400 lbs per wheel whereas the # MX59FR has an acrylic enamel finish that resists damage better than powder coat finishes and a capacity of 4,460 lbs. Aside from that they are the same.
